AUM helps healthcare heroes

Auburn University at Montgomery and Baptist Health have formed a partnership to provide a safe space for Baptist Health team members who are working on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19.

This housing solution will help offer a peace of mind for those healthcare providers who have concerns about spreading germs to their family members. AUM has made 48 rooms in Lilac Hall at no cost to Baptist Health or its team members.

AACSB reaffirms College of Business accreditation

The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has reaffirmed the accreditation of AUM’s College of Business and School of Accountancy through the spring of 2024.

AUM received confirmation of the AACSB Board of Directors’ vote on Monday.

“The entire accreditation process means that the College of Business is meeting the criteria to be among the best business schools in the world,” AUM College of Business Dean Ross Dickens said. “Students will know they are getting a respected education.”

AACSB accreditation reflects of a commitment to quality and continuous improvement. As an AACSB members, AUM’s College of Business files reports to the organization each year and provides “assurance of learning work” each semester. The reaffirmation process involves a self-study, and a campus visit from a peer review team. The team reports its findings to the AACSB. The findings are then reviewed by an independent committee that issues recommendations for accreditation and reaffirmation.
